My Mystery Flower

I am hoping someone can help me out here. The picture above was taken in my backyard but i have never noticed this flower before. So i am wondering if it's not a weed. If it is a weed it is one of the prettiest weeds i have ever seen. There were two more like it close by.

What caught my eye was the detail and the color. It is such an interesting flower. It seems to radiate and as you can see, i was not the only one who was drawn in. The bee lit on the flower while i was taking the pictures.

I am thinking i might sketch this and paint it in watercolor.

Until i know more about it i will call it my "mystery flower". If anyone can help me i would greatly appreciate it.

God Reflected in the Water

“And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.” Genesis 1:2

Water heals, refreshes and brings life. Water can also destroy. Water reflects…look into the water and see God’s creation mirrored upon the surface. Look deeper and you will see a small reflection of God himself-His power to heal, refresh and to give life. There is also the great mystery of God which no man can understand and when God destroys it is not always for us to know why but to trust in His unfailing love and His perfect plan. He is working all things for the good of those who love Him(Romans 8:28). Thank You, Father for water and the life giving lessons it brings
